When they meet through mutual friends, they realize that they may have things in common, after all. They realize that maybe they could be friends. Maybe they could be even more. But it's not nearly as simple as it all sounds. This is their story. Cover designed on Canva with photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash.

In a near-future society governed by The Ledger, every citizen's life is scored, measured, and monitored. Opportunities, privileges, even survival depend on a single number-but the system is neither fair nor forgiving. Elias, a mid-level Registrar, enforces the rules while quietly bending them to protect himself. Marin, a low-score citizen, navigates a labyrinth of loopholes, risking everything for survival. Tobias, an idealistic outsider, challenges The Ledger-but each act of rebellion triggers consequences that ripple farther than he imagines. No one is entirely good. No one is entirely safe. Loyalties fracture, friendships betray, and the smallest choice can ignite tragedy. Secondary characters rise and fall unpredictably, making the world feel alive, dangerous, and heartbreakingly human. This is a story of power, consequence, and moral compromise, disguised as a world both familiar and alien. Laugh with them, cry with them, and witness a society that rewards cunning and punishes innocence-where survival costs everything.

You only turn 17 once in your lifetime, and after that, you can't afford to make foolish decisions anymore, she thought.

"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type. In a school full of clichés, she falls perfectly under the category of "nerd" and has her own little nerdy group of people she loves to hang around. They respect the fact that she's non-verbal. The thing that plagued her, surprisingly, is not her inability and refusal to speak, but her ability to go through anybody and everybody's dreams. This is not something she can control, nor something that's necessarily dangerous. It just happens. One second she's in darkness, the next second she happens to be in someone's dream. But, when she stumbles into a dream of a guy she never knew existed in her grade of 500 students, albeit his popular status, both her worlds get flipped upside down.

Some people like the cookie. Some like the cream. I like them together, with some milk of course. But, I'm not talking about Oreos. Nope. This is my life. ___________________ BWWM ___________________ ©All Rights Reserved 2014. Disclaimer: read this book at your own risk. It's terrible. I was extremely young when I wrote this and did not know better. This book is an apt example of "it gets better" (or more tolerable) if you manage to stick around til chapter 17-18.
